Dana White was feeling confident after his third Zuffa Boxing event wrapped up on Sunday night.
The UFC CEO delivered a card packed with knockouts, headlined by Efe Ajagba stopping former heavyweight world champion Charles Martin at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas.
Speaking after the fight, White mentioned that the line-up for UFC White House is now finalised.
But much of his time at the press conference was spent taking aim at some familiar faces in boxing.
Dana White on his entry into boxing
When asked about any resistance he has faced since moving into boxing, White had a blunt response.
The UFC CEO dismissed the idea that there has been any real opposition and was quick to criticise his rivals.
At the Zuffa Boxing 3 post-fight press conference, he stated: “This is like beating up babies. I feel like I came in and I’m beating up babies.
“I expected more. I expected some pushback. I expected them to be more game.
“They’re all way out of their league. Like absolutely, positively out of their league.
“I’m actually a little shocked,” White concluded.
Dana White throws shots at Eddie Hearn
Since White’s entry into boxing, no one has been more outspoken than Eddie Hearn.
The Matchroom Sports chairman and White used to be on good terms, but their relationship has taken a turn in recent years.
Hearn did not hold back recently, calling Zuffa Boxing ‘cringe’ for introducing its own championship belt.
In that context, White said: “I saw Eddie Hearn saying that the belt is cringey and all that stuff.
“I don’t think anybody looks at Eddie Hearn and says, ‘oh this guy is a visionary.’
“The guy’s been in boxing forever. I look at him like most politicians; you’ve done nothing in the sport except stay in the lane, play by all the rules, and ride right along… You ended up becoming part of the problem, is what happened.
“And I don’t want to sit here and smash Eddie Hearn, but Eddie Hearn works for his dad, you know what I mean? He works for dad, and I don’t think he’s come in and ever had any type of vision, whereas we do.
“We are going to change the entire sport, and I understand the people who are the status quo in boxing don’t like it. But it doesn’t mean they can’t still do their thing. If your thing is as good as you think it is, and you are as good as you think you are, then do your thing.
“Good luck to you, I’m going to do my thing, and they’re going to do theirs.”
